Thrasher and Blackfish Its Enemies and Combat Is to Death. New York.—Although the chief whaling grounds are now found in the Southern Pacific whales are numerous enough in warmer seas to furnish a thrill now and then for shipmasters and fishermen. Passengers aboard the liner Vestris off the island of Barbados, recently witnessed a sight seldom seen by ocean travelers. A whale, a thrasher, or swordfish, and a blackfish were engaged in combat, with the whale on the defensive. The blackfish leaped into the air and threw Itself on the whale’s back with terrific force. The swordfish engaged the whale from belnw. lunging continually with its sword, it was quite evident that the sword fish ami blackfish allies, for each time the hlm-kfish forced the whale below the surface the swordfish jabbed at him and forced him up again. The whale leaped out <»f the sea so that its whole hody could he seen and tried' to shake off its enemies The ship left the scene before the tight ha-' reached a decision, but it is liken that the whale was done to death Some weeks ago a school of 12t' whales was stranded on the shores ot Scotland near the village of Bonar Bridge. Shoals of herring had apparently lured the whales into the shallow water and there they were trapped. Problem for Scots. The problem of disposal was a difi ficult one for the villagers. Some time before the burial of a single stranded whale cost them £2O. The Ujtfiught of burying 120 whales almost thri?w the 'Tillage into a panic until ’ a Britisher happened along and. having examined the carcasses, found ; them frt be a variety of the killer ‘ whale. The British museum ordered I the skeletons to he sent to London and the blubber was sold by the villagers. Whales, except the “killer” variety, are usually of a peaceful nature. The killer whale is of little use commer- ■ dally, but is feared by other species : and by fisherjnen. Frank T. Bullen, in his "Cruise of the Cachalot.” describes the depredations of three killers when attacking a bowhead. “The killer, or Orca gladiator, ts a true whale,” he says, “hut, like the cachalot, has teeth. The first inkling i 1 got of what was really going on was the leaping of a killer high into the air by the side of the whale and descending upon the victim’s broad, smooth back with a resounding crash 1 saw that the killer was provided i with a pair of huge fins —one on his | hack, the other on his belly—which at first sight looked as if they were also weapons of offense. A little observation convinced me that they were fins only. Again and again the aggressor leaped into the air, falling

U. S. FERTILIZER CHEMISTS CATCH UP ON EUROPEANS

Adoption of New Process by French Reverses Order of Things in Industry. Birmingham, Ala. —The rapid advance of chemical engineering in the United States within the last few years is being significantly demonstrated by the adoption of an American process and apparatus for electrothermal production of phosphoric acid by a French fertilizer concern. . Heretofore the situation has usually been reversed. Many of the important developments in chemistry have been achieved abroad and American companies, to keep abreast of the Industry’s progress, have had to purchase the right to utilize these discoveries in the United States. The phosphoric acid process was worked out by engineers and scientists of the Federal Phosphoric company of Birmingham, and thus far

each time on the whale’s back, as if to beat him into submission. “The sea around foamed and boiled like a caldron, so that it was only occasional glimpses I was able to catch of the combat, until presently the worried whale lifted his head clear out of the surrounding smother, revealing two of the furies hanging, one on either side, to his lips, as if endeavoring to drag his mouth open, which I afterward saw was their principal object, as whenever during the tumult I caught sight of them they were still in the same position. At las the tremendous and incessant blows, dealt by the most active mem her of the trio, seemed actually to have exhausted the immense vitality of tlie great bowhead, for he lay supine upon the surface. Then the three joined their forces and succeeded in dragging open his cavernous mouth, into which they freely entered, devouring his tongue. This then had been their sole object, for as soon as they had finished their barbarous feast they departed, leaving him helpless and dying.” Encounters With Vessels. One of the enemies ot tlie whale is the giant octopus. Actual battles between them have been recorded by eyewitnesses. Tlie octopus, a deepwater creature, throws its long ten taeles around the whale, at the same time laying down a “smoke screen” of black fluid, but the whale often manages to break loose and kill its adversary. Whales are sometimes killed by vessels. The Berengaria sighted a school of whales on a Sunday afternoon. One of them left his comrades and

Paris., which at the same time arranged to have its engineers and chemists Instructed in the operation of the apparatus by American experts. In addition to phosphoric acid, which will be converted chiefly into ammonium phosphate, a concentrated fertilizer, the American equipment and methods will enable the French company to market pure phosphoric acid and several pure salts, including mono-ammonium phosphate. diammonium phosphate and sodium phosphates. “The production of concentrated fertilizer in Europe by means of this American development is in accordance with the tendency tn the fer tllizer industry to use more concen-

Paris Is Demolishing Houses 700 Years Old Paris.—Historic old houses in narrow little streets 700 years old are being torn down to the joy of sanitary experts and the despair of lovers of old Paris. Light, virtue and cleanliness never nourished in the dark houses with cracked walls, crazily leaning fronts and dungeonlike cellars. In these narrowest streets of the old city, however, were born the early systems of street lighting, sweeping, policing, garbage collecting and the national opera. * , The Rue de la Reynie was named j for an ancient chief of police, who or- | dered the bourgeois of the district to maintain, Tight at nightfall and extinguish at dawn, candle lanterns at specified intervals. De la Reynie also organized day and night patrols of “archers,” who trav- | eled in squads because swords often Hashed in those days. The Rue de Venise close by was the quarter of the j usurers.

Sir Arthur Keith, one of England’s most prominent scientists 1 , one of the leading officials of the Royal institution and head of the British association. Sir | Arthur advanced this theory following the discovery by a German geologist of a “Heidelberg jaw,” which the British scientist said is the earliest European human now - known toscience. He asserted that the discovery is one of the biggest of its kind concerning the origin of humans. “There thus really seems to be a chance that Germany is going to produce the ‘missing link.’ and it looks very much as though Europe really was the ‘Garden of Eden,’” Sir Arthur said.

Being purely vegetaable, you can give it as often as there’s a sign of colic; constipation; diarrhea; or need to aid sound, natural sleep. .
